Nexxen is from Taiwan, i think. If you're looking for value for $$, go for Kumho KU31. Good reviews all round and very reasonaly priced. Change my tyres to this brand in Sept/Oct at $105/pc for 205/50/16. I went fo a higher profile just to feel the difference in comfort. Btw, KU31 is classified as a UHP tyres. It's a Korean brand but for this particular model Made in Vietnam. I've done about 10,000km already and it's not bad for the price. You may want to consider Goodyear new Eagle F1 (about $145). Do your research and good luck.

That's about it, lol, if you have a budget of $500, that works out to about $125 per tire, so should be plently to choose from, it's a matter if they have it in your profile or not. Better go and choose reputable tire, don't get another "Neuton" kind of tire enough la

I highly recommend the Michellin PP2, but I believe this is the old model and you may not find it in the market anymore, Nexxen or Kumho are also okay, as in any other brand they have different model to suit different budget, you will have to work it our from there.
